my 160cc powertorque is a cracking little machine, always starts on first couple of pulls. But trying to start when hot, after being left for a few minutes is terrible. Anyone any hints?

Hi Stephen,
I have a Victa Vortex with exactly the same problem so I would be interested also in the remedy for this. Regards, Dave

Hi Dave,
Iv'e found that if my engine is still warm, just keeping on pulling the starter cord on full open throtle gets her going after a few pulls, I was using choke before, and she didn't need it. Best of luck.
